To consider the above application. Minutes: Consideration was given to the above application.
(Councillor G Walton, the Ward Councillor, Parish Councillor David Wilson, representing Chelford Parish Council and Dr Gilden, an objector attended the meeting and spoke in respect of the application).
RESOLVED
That the application be refused for the following reasons:-
1.The proposed development will have a detrimental impact on biodiversity at the site by proposing activities on both the north and south lakes, which is likely to have a significant adverse impact upon the nature conservation value of the lakes as a result of the increase in disturbance and the potential risk posed to birds posed by the network of wires associated with the wakeboarding infrastructure. These impacts will be for the duration of the operational life of the centre. Therefore the proposals are not environmentally sustainable contrary to policy NE11 of the Macclesfield Borough Local Plan and the NPPF.
2.The potential bird attractant features of this proposed development are greater than the site as existing and greater than the approved restoration scheme, and without a significant amount of appropriate mitigation would be likely to lead to an increase in goose populations at the site and thus increase the hazard within Manchester Airport’s safeguarded area. This would result in an increased risk to the safe operation of aircraft at and in the vicinity of Manchester Airport that is unacceptable to the UK aviation industry’s regulators: The Civil Aviation Authority and the European Aviation Safety Agency and does not comply with the standards of the International Civil Aviation Organisation.
(The meeting adjourned was adjourned from 1.30pm until 2.15pm for lunch). |
